Description

Keep your carbon steel blades in the same condition as the day you got them with this kit that includes the essentials for removing patina and protecting your cutlery from the damaging effects of daily wear. Kit contains a patina eraser, camellia oil and a cotton cloth.

The patina eraser has rubberized abrasive bench stones that effectively remove rust from the surface of your blade without damaging it.

The camellia oil can be used on both the blade and handle. When applied to a wood handle, it helps protect it from moisture damage, dirt and UV light. The oil is derived from seeds of the camellia tree and will not discolor or harden the wood. When applied to metal, the acid-free oil is ideal for protecting blades from rust. It is especially suitable for preserving high-carbon steel because it is 100% organic and food safe. Use the included cotton cloth to apply the oil.

BEST ANSWER:I do have Kramer carbon and damascus lines but have not needed this on the damascus yet. Assuming that the damascus is stainless, you could still use this on the knife. However, the rust remover may not be needed unless you actually have slight surface rust. The oil would be most useful for the handle. If you want to polish a damascus blade, I would suggest using the leather stropping block after you sharpen. The rubber like rust remover does have a very very light abrasive quality. So, I would be careful if I gave this a try.

If the Damascus line you refer to is the stainless steel line, the kit would not be valuable; stainless steel doesn’t rust. I saw a high carbon, Kramer sanctioned, Damascus knife on Cutlery and More. If you have one of those (it was $1200) or one of Bob’s actual knives (at more than $300 an inch), the kit would work great if you don’t want the patina.

It is intended for anything made of full carbon steel. The widely available Damascus line is stainless, so this wouldn't be needed. If you have one of the $2,000.00 limited edition full carbon Damascus knives or a custom Kramer, then yes, and I'must green with env.
